Hypnotherapy

Hypnotism puts you into a state of "focused concentration," during which you're vaguely aware of your surroundings. There are different stages of hypnosis, some deeper than others. But when you're in any of them, your imagination is open to suggestion.


Today, hypnosis is about as mainstream as an alternative therapy can get. It has been recognized as a valid medical therapy since 1955 in Great Britain and since 1958 in the United States. Many mainstream doctors (particularly anesthesiologists and surgeons) are trained in hypnotherapy, as are a good number of dentists, psychotherapists, and nurses. Many mainstream health practitioners are willing to accept (and use) hypnotherapy because it happens to help their patients. They rest their case on many solid studies that show what hypnotherapy can do -- even if researchers don't yet understand

Anxiety

Until you have experienced being worked up in a constant state of stress or anxiety you cannot really appreciate how alarming and/or frightening it can be. Hypnotherapy is excellent at bringing RELIEF, at calming the mind and helping to control thoughts or feelings that caused the problem in the first place. The sufferer is usually fully aware of the root cause(s) of upset but this is not always the case. If appropriate, hypnosis can be used to investigate, release and resolve such repressed material Usually, however, it is more a case of coming to terms with whatever is causing all the stress, upset, hurt or panic and using hypnosis to enable the person concerned to calm down and relax as their nerves become strong and steady. Hypnotherapy is also an excellent means of helping the mind to automatically cope with future stress much more easily and confidently, whatever the situation.

Phobias

Hypnosis is famous for its effectiveness at treating phobias. Some types of phobia are more common: dogs; cats; birds; insects; lifts; needles; agoraphobia; fear of flying: but there are dozens of less usual ones such as fear of germs or dirt contamination; fear of choking; or fear of ordinary household items). The treatment is usually quite short term.

Whatever the phobia, it can be very distressing and can often begin to affect and restrict the sufferer's whole life. If you have a phobia, you have first hand evidence of the existence of a powerful part of your mind over which you have no rational control. Hypnotherapists usually refer to this part of the mind as the 'subconscious' or 'unconscious' mind. It is the subconscious that believes there is a threat or danger, regardless of what the conscious mind believes or knows. The subconscious has a useful, primitive ability to release fear automatically to protect us in all kinds of situations. If the subconscious produces fear/upset in inappropriate situations, it results in a phobia, and the fear cannot be overridden. This often makes the sufferer feel stupid, mad or irrational. The same powerful imagination that is working against them can be used, through hypnosis, to get them over the phobia. It is not usually important to discover how the phobia or 'miss-programming' came about, what is important is to make sure that it is removed. Hypnotherapy is a way of gently communicating with the irrational, subconscious mind and persuading it to stop releasing the negative feelings. An immediate and total change is not unusual after just one session, though in some cases it may take a series of sessions to obtain an acceptable and permanent level of relief. It makes little difference how long standing or deeply ingrained the phobia is.

Stress Reduction Program

While certain types of stress can be good for you, such as the stress caused by the romantic encounter or the anticipation of a reward, stress that begins to debilitate or produce depression is completely undesirable. As a person perpetuates stress and continues to endure excessive tension, he may experience an escalating frenzy or become a candidate foe stress-related illness. Such a condition calls for change. And while you may not be able to change the world, you can change your reaction to stress and your adaptation mechanism. Hypnotherapy can work in conjunction with the new dietary plan to relieve or reduce stress. As you meet your nutritional needs, the stress Reduction Induction will work as a major aid. Hypnotherapy can reduce stress in your life not by eliminating the stimulus, but by reprogramming your reaction to it.

 

Weight Control

The mind has a tremendous amount of power over our eating habits and body weight. Something inside your mind actually controls your appetite, your eating habits, patience, and your determination. Hypnotherapy is a way of harnessing this tremendous power of the mind in order to help you become and remain the slimmer person you wish to be.

Hypnotherapy deals with the root causes of overeating and the wrong kind of eating habits. Its aim is not to be a temporary fix but to be more like 'throwing a lever inside the brain' to permanently change eating habits for the better. You will not normally be advised to go on a strict food reduction diet. Such dieting simply does not work. Instead the hypnosis will be used to allow you to eat 'normally' - in other words to eat the amount that slimmer people enjoy which will enable you to lose weight steadily and permanently without all the hunger pangs and misery. This is the true way to weight loss success. This approach avoids all the terrible hunger of crash and gimmick diets that always end up with the weight going straight back on.
